Abu Dhabi / WAM

A kaleidoscope of culture and ethnicity at Masdar Institute of Science and Technology was on full display as students representing 29 countries presented the distinct elements of each of their diverse cultures on Masdar Institute’s International Day 2016.
Dr Abdullah Al-Hefeiti, Acting Dean of Students and Dean of Library, Masdar Institute, said, “This is the day we celebrate the rich cultural diversity of our university. The lively ambience of this year’s International Day reflects passion and energy of our students. I believe much of Masdar Institute’s success can be attributed to our diverse student body and faculty, as innovation is driven by the synergy of different ideas, experiences and strengths.”
Led by the Abu Dhabi Police band, a flag marching ceremony marked the beginning of the day’s events.
